Car transmission is the most important part of the car next to its engine, and without one you will not be able to move it anywhere.

The transmissions that we can use today are far more advanced than the ones that were used in the past and they allow us to use the maximum force of the engines output without any losses in the process.

The ancient Greeks knew all about using the force with a lever, and Archimedes said: “give me lever long enough and I can move the world.” And he knew that lever can increase the force applied to it in order to use it in moving bigger and heavier things. Cars transmission works in the same way, using small force to generate bigger force, to move the car. But it is so advanced that it separates the force into four or more gears so that you will get that force multiplied.

There are automatic transmissions as well and they don’t need human hand to put it into gear, they know when the gear needs to be changed and they do it. So the engineers have made our life easier a bit. Check it out here:
